WHAT CAN you eyprcr7

The habits of early life are not
easily abandoned. What boy has
been accustomed to until he has
reached manhood will not be easily
forgotten afterwards. In three cases
out of four, or perhaps greater
proportion, success in life is achieved
only on the foundation laid in youth
or early manhood. These are facts
which the governing power Of this
country is apparently not sufficiently
enlightened to appreciate. There
fore we are accustomed to see men
suddenly tossed into responsible
positions in the public service for
which their early training and pre-
vious habits of life had no tendency
whatever to qualify them, with the
natural and inevitable consequence
of making the service less efficient
than any respectable mercantile es-
tablishmsnt or private institution in
the country. What man of sense
would expect efficiency in public
service where q man drops police
mans baton to become an idle bum
mer, and graduates from the Bum
mer's Association to the responsible
post of Registrar of Deeds and
Documents? or where a man is lifted
by the hair of the head from a taro
patch, in which he had passed all
his life in commendable industry,
but had never seen the face of Black
stone nor even heard mention of the
gentleman's name, ana with the mud
still sticking to him, is dumped on a
judges bench and entrusted with
the difficult task of administering
the law? or where a landsman, noted
mainly for harmless gasconading and
demonstrating to his fellows that
nature and mlsdirected education
had combined to make him fool, is
thrust on board of warship, attired
in the gorgeous uniform of II lieuten-
ant, and required to execute the
duties of that office? Where such
practices mark the filling of Govern
ment positions, efficiency cannot be
expected in the public service. These
gentlemen and many others who are
placed where they do not belong,
may have been excellent people in
their own sphere and the places tc
which they were fitted by long cx.
perience, and fully competent fol
the discharge of their simple duties
in life; but where they now are, they
are about as appropriate as a donkey
giving dancing lessons. Their pre-
! vious habits will come to the surface
and they are not becoming to th
5 dignity and decorum of ollicia
e position.

,fter ,he purchase was oohsummatetl.

after the purchase was oohsummated.
From then till now, we have had no
reason to believe that there had
been any misstatement of fact re-
specting the vessels condition, hut
have had abundant direct confrma-
ton of her being at the time per-
fectly sound and seaworthy. Whether
she was absolutely worth the amount
given for her, Is not question
which has ever engaged our atten-
ton. That she was an exceedingly
dear piece of property to the Gov
ernment we have contended, and do
contend; because she was insult
able for the purpose intended. and
required large outlay to make her
suitable; and after all the outlay
she is not entirely suitable, and
never will be. If q man in want Of
a hat, buys forty-dollar iron pot
with the view of filling the want, and
gets it for the sum of one dollar, he
will find when he comes to don his
new head cover that he has very
dear hat. This is about the posi-
ton of the Hawaiian Government.
| OF course, that is no business of the
former owners of the Kaimlloa. He
had the vessel for sale at specified
price, and substantially said, ~
offer her as q sound craft: you can
make an examination of her by your
own men; l have named my price
and conditions; if you like to take
her on those terms, there she is; if
not, leave her." The Government
found her what she was represented
to be, and took her. Since that,
they have found themselves to be in
possession of white elephant, or
an iron pot which they are trying to
use for II hat. There is no dis
honesty or underhand dealing
charged or chargeable to the vcn-
dor; but stupidity and bungling are
justly attributed to the purchaser.
The Kaimiloa was, for anything we
know to the contrary, n good little
craft for crawling around among
guanO islands; but she is miser-
able make-shift for naval training
ship or man-of-war, and is dear at
any price for these purposes.

THURSDAY. MAY 10. 1887.
lNEXCUSABLE NEGLECT.

1t becomes our duty to offer a
reminder that someone has heen
guilty Of ineNcusable neglect
in the omission to confer q richly
deserved decoration. Or if the
duty has been discharged, it has
been done in secret, and the
fact concealed from an interested
public. But this is highly improba-
BILE, and we may feel justified in the
conclusion that the neglect is actual.
Be it understood, however, that
there is no intention to insinuate that
the omission is an intended slight.
1t is more likely to have been an
unlntentional oversight; for past
history clearly shows that it has
been the invariablc practice of Ha-
waii to reward all noble deeds with
the membership and insignia of one
or other of her numerous honorable
Iiders. For instance, when an
American gentleman went from San
Francisco, via Honolulu, to New
Zealand, and bungled mail contract
in which this country had no inter-
est, his able services were acknow-
lodged by the honor of knighthood.
So, too, the gentleman who has
electrified the natives by nightly
exhibition Of electric light, may be
seen with remarkable button on
the lapel Of his coat, like unto the
fastening of u seat cushion, betoken-
ing admission into the sacred circle.
Then the jolly captain of the Aus
tralia who was fortunate to get a
ship full Of passengers, among whom
were members of the Royal family,
was decorated for his good luck, and
the night-watchman was disappointed
because he was left out. So it is
reasonable to conclude that the
omission alluded to above is purely
an oversight; for certainly the man
who conceived the idea of navy,
purchased the Kaimiloa, and sent
her to sea a formidable man-of- war,
in the midst of many obstacles,
great provocations, at enormous ex-
pensc, and against the wish of every
sensible man in the country, is
deserving Of tremendous honors.
The Secretary of War and the Navy
should at once be admitted into every
order in the kingdom, not emitting
the order to vamoOsc the country,
and covered with every decoration
available, including Government
bracelets. The father, founder, and
osterer of the navy is the man whom
we delight to honor, and shall not
be happy until we see him perchcd
at the tip-top of the pinnacle of
adulation, with peacock's feather
and yellow buttons stuck in his hat,
all kinds Of pretty devices covering
his upper and neither garments, and
tho Kaimiloa on bis head!

It is the inno- cent, light hearted gush of girl. Let her frolicsome youth have its fling.

She is the girl who helps mother. Tn her own home she is blessed little saint and comforter. She takes unfinished tasks from the tired, stiff fingers that falter at their work; her strong young figure is staff upon which the gray haired, white faced mother leans and is rested.
